<p>If that happens I’m going to lose my mind. I’m on the verge as it is. The nice men in white coats are standing by as we speak…</p>
<p>I would, too. But thats the excuse my parents gave for me having to go to school.
I said fine but if I get in I’m driving straight to ND right after I get the letter, and lighting a candle… maybe 10.</p>
<p>I live in Florida and I can’t tell you how badly I’ve wanted to drive up and light every single candle in the grotto. Expensive, yes, but definitely worth it.</p>
<p>Ok I’m not really superstitious, but I just went to get Chinese food with some work friends and here were my fortunes… </p>
<p>“There are many new opportunities being presented to you.”
“Keep true to the dreams of your youth.”
and then heres the best one</p>
<p>“Good news of a long-awaited event will arrive soon.”</p>
<p>Can God work through fortune cookies to comfort us?
I guess we’ll see if I get in.</p>
<p>God can work through anything. </p>
<p>I found a penny today… my grandmother picked them up, whether heads or tails… she said they were lucky no matter which way they landed. I see it as her giving me a wink from above to let me know everything’s gonna be ok- however it turns out.</p>
<p>Just have faith and know that whatever the outcome, it’s what God intends for us. We’ll get where we’re supposed to get, just maybe not the way we wanted to.</p>
<p>Good luck all. I prayed last night for you guys as well as myself hoping that we will end up at the right place, even if it’s not ND (but hope it is!) and will do the same tonight. Hopefully tomorrow is the day! Good luck again.</p>
<p>You know, I think that all of the people on this site who are accepted should meet somewhere at the beginning of the year. If I’m a SMC Chick or a Domer, I’ll be there.</p>
<p>yea the NROTC-Marines guy at vandy put it best.
“theres no way you can go wrong”
talking about ND, Vandy, BC, and Marquette and Army or Marines ROTC.</p>
<p>but I still really hope we get into ND.</p>
<p>You and me both. Well, off to bed- no way it will involve anything resembling sleep though. Good night and I’m praying for all of you.</p>
<p>The thing I hated about trying to sleep last night was, laying on my stomach in my usual sleeping position, I could feel my heart pounding throughout my whole body! I had to sleep on my back which was very uncomfortable and took a while to get used to. </p>
<p>Good night and good luck</p>
<p>I know, thank god this is the last sleepless night. - i was up til 4 in the morning last night. </p>
<p>& I’m still wide awake, I just can’t sleep. I’m so nervous</p>
<p>ditto
luckily I have this stats to do still
that should put me to sleep.</p>
<p>AC, my New England friend! My plan is to stay on here until I can’t keep my eyes open so it will be easier to fall asleep. I realize this won’t bode well for tomorrow but I gotta find some way</p>
<p>justbumming! haha. i know. i watched like 4 episodes of 24 last night.. 
my mind is just racing – and then i look at the clock at get freaked out. - does that ever happen to you?</p>
<p>Yes AC!! The clock freaks me out. I have been plotting ways to get my mail as early as possible tomorrow. I called my softball coach, asked him when practice ended, then told him I needed to come home after school to say goodbye to my brother (which is true… but it has it’s other perks). This obsession has gone too far!</p>
<p>haha! wow. my mail comes late. so ill be afterschool and just have to wait until 4 o clock. </p>
<p>its going to be the longest two hours of my life. </p>
<p>10:30. and i tried to go to bed at 8. hmmm</p>
<p>Oh geez, two and a half hours? Those are probably the second longest hours of your life eh? Imagine if nothing comes tomorrow, I’m not really doubting it unfortunately :(</p>
<p>My mail comes around 1…
but luckily i get to skip the last hour cause i don’t have a class. so ill be home around 2:30 then back for track…by 3.
good luck guys.
I’m out for a few hours…
but i have a feeling I’ll be back.</p>
<p>my parents have just spent the last couple of hours preparing me for rejection by telling me to prepare for the worst and its not a big deal if I dont get in and by telling me all these other stories of random people getting rejections and overcoming them.</p>
<p>ahhh Im depressed now and need to know ASAP
only like 17 more hours now (potentially)</p>
<p>i hear you michigankid, my parents gave me a similar talk recently.</p>
<p>i don’t think i’ve slept more than 3-4 hours straight since the letters came out…and i really don’t see sleep happening tonight either.</p>
<p>this is when i sort of wish that all admissions decisions were on line, i mean sure it’s sort of anticlimatic, but at least we all know for sure when we’ll find out. texas is a long way from pretty much everywhere i applied, and i sure am feeling that now!</p>
<p>best of luck to all!</p>
